well this is sort of a stupid question but how do you find this question mark item? on the map it is in a different position than what keeps getting shown while your driving, how do i get this item?

and a7, i just hate this level with a passion! it's so frustrating and that fact your time keeps changing once you get past the first portion of the level. any tips to stay alive - well other than 'good luck'? this level totally seems to be based on chance. i figured that you have to use your entry 'patrol-1' car to play this level because all other vehicles are way too out of control to work with.

now that i am playing it though, i really wish there was some free roaming (and multiplayer - nudge nudge) because outside of the main portions of some levels are really beautiful environments to explore and *trash*. another thing that's pretty cheesy is the fact you can't run over and knock humans or trees or posts makes this seem a little unrealistic even though you are trashing everything mostly in your path. the replay adds a fair bit of humour value though because even when i am sucking so bad and getting so enraged enough to throw my gamepad at the tv, it's pretty funny to see yourself suck afterwards. the force and inertia in this game are presented very very well too, i love to see things you hit still flying and twisting with you (until you fall into some water, throw the xbox in the garbage and punch the wall the next day because your xbox is gone).

in case, anybody needs help with this, i solved it on my own.

a4 question mark: this is actually left of the question mark on the map on the hill. you have to back up and run your car onto the raised portion that you can only access by jumping onto it. search around and you'll find another ramp and a leading into a hole which is actually a elevator chute. once you drop, you'll see the new vehicle. the only problem is the time limit, i still haven't unlocked this car, pretty hard. my suggestion is to get a better car and try to do this as fast as you can but it is pretty hard considering your primary objectives already.

a6: yep, this is sheer chance and this is probably the most frustrating level. apparantly there is a secret (i believe it shows on the map) in this level but i can't find it.

by the way, the yakuza missions were fairly easy in comparison to these grueling dragon missions. well, with exception to b9, that is pretty tough.

An easy way to complete this mission is as follows:

1.Immediately take a left when the mission starts , go up the road on the left hand side and jump onto the grassy platform. Go up the ramp and drive into the empty elevator shaft, hopefully you'll land on your wheels. Make a left out of here and down the the ramp, you'll see a big truck, touch it and boogie your way back up the ramp and into the elevator. Press Y to get going back to the top. If you have timed it right you should get back to the top just as the dump truck is driving by, ram it from the top of the grassy platform for your first hit.

2. Hopefully you'll land on your wheels, then race accross the road the dump truck is making a U turn onto. you'll drive past a fence on the right, climb up to the top of the hill on the right side of the road and wait for the truck to drive by on your left, ram him from the top of this hill. Hit number 2.

3. Again hopefully you'll end up on your wheels. Try and sneak past the dump on the right hand side again to get to the top of the next hill (similar to the one you just jumped off of). Again hit the truck when it's driving by. Hit number 3.

4. The truck will drive down the road a bit more and make another left turn. At this turn you should see a lump right in the middle of the turn calling you on to get up some speed and ram the truck again. You'll probably flip while doing this but you should have hit number 4.... You'll be really close to the building you have to get to the top of now.

5. IGNORE the red arrows, it's a trick to get you to waste time. Once on the platform drive right by the flashing arrows and head down the left hand side where you'll see an elevator. Reverse into this bad boy and press Y. This will get you to the top level and past 3 Yakuza cars....

6. Make a right out of the elevator and get up a bit of speed because there will be 2 Yakuza cars at the top level here, try and stay to the right when you see the first car because he will try and push you to the left. The second car won't get a chance to move if you have enough speed here. You have to go into the gate looking thing (just to the left of the second car) with a bit of speed because there is a section missing and you'll fall through. Once in the air hit the brakes to stop you from sliding once you land. You have to make a left into another elevator (try to reverse in again because you can drive straight out at the end). Press Y. Once at the top drive out and down the ramp to your left and get the briefcase. Then boogie back up the ramp to the big white box with the arrow in it and stop. If you have done everything properly you should have anywhere between 20 and 35 seconds to spare at the end of the level... Hope this helps.
